Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Bacon
Lay the bacon strips out on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Ensure they are not overlapping.
- 2
Mix the Seasoning
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until well combined.
- 3
Season the Bacon
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the bacon strips. Make sure to coat both sides for maximum flavor.
- 4
Marinate
Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for a stronger flavor.
Smoking
- 5
Prepare the Smoker
Soak the pecan wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help them create smoke rather than burn up quickly.
- 6
Preheat the Smoker
Preheat your smoker to 225°F (107°C). Once preheated, add the soaked pecan wood chips to the smoker box or directly onto the hot coals.
